Mission and Philosophy:

Mission Statement:

St. Michael, an
accredited Catholic Elementary School, partners with families in the education
of the mind, body, and soul of each child.

Philosophy:

We believe in shaping every child’s mind, body and soul. The education received at St. Michael School aims to prepare students not only for a career, but also for life. It helps students to deal not only with questions of what a person should know, but also with how a person should live. These goals of Catholic education will be best realized by programs that offer opportunities for each student to receive religious and secular instruction, experience daily living in a faith community and develop skills and commitment in serving others.

At St. Michael Catholic Elementary School we
believe:

Each student is a member of the body
of Christ as well as the human family and has the responsibility to contribute
to the common good of society.

Each student is of equal worth and has the right to
be treated with respect, compassion, and honesty in a nurturing and safe
environment which is essential for human development.

Each student is encouraged to become the best
version of him/herself by following the teachings of Christ in the Catholic
tradition.

Each student is to be educated
academically and taught to be accountable for his/her choices and actions.
